Oh I see what you mean!

Sorry...allow me to clarify:

That is a conditional rhetorical question which is meant to make the following point:

I am saying that if one does not faith, then there is no justification for the use of reason.

I do have faith in the utility of reason, hence, I am justified in using it.

Therefore, I do not exclude reason.
